Gatefold Explosion Fun Fold Friday

Welcome to another edition of Fun Fold Friday - today I am sharing my attempt at the Gatefold Explosion card.

My design came together from playing along with a couple challenges 

The floral spring vibes from the Mood board #82 over at Inspiration Station. 

Cant get enough of the Colour INKspiration Colour challenge #CI204 - Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Soft Sea Foam and Lost Lagoon

. 

The Paper Players #PP774 Sketch Challenge

Inspire.Create challenge to use florals #210

I’m getting inky with a few different products to get my final to come together - Words of Beauty for my outer sentiment, Beautiful Butterflies for my inner sentiment, Fragrant Layers for my inner insert & envelope, Covered in Flowers Accents for my front focal flowers blended with colour palette colours, Painted Illusions DSP, Everyday Arches dies, Rhinestones and unbranded Silver twine. 

Painted Illusions 12x12 DSP Colours: Darling Duckling, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Lost Lagoon, Misty Moonlight, Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock

Measurements for various pieces.

Triangle Cutting tips 

Blending on the flower accents - you can add any colour desired to these accents which makes them very versatile.

All the elements came together for a stunning card that should give an explosion of warmth & love to the receiver who opens it 🫶🏼

Guest Designing for the Scrapbook Nerds

Good morning!

Hope everyone is doing well keeping safe from all that is going on in the world right now! It has been a roller coaster for me over here ~ was hoping being home in islolation mandate would mean more time for crafting however my auto immune system had other ideas and the past month has been ups and downs with a struggle between hives and digestive issues! 

However today seems to be a manageable day so havingg fun today finally able to spend some time in the craftroom catching up on some challenges and doing a guest design post for the Scrapbook Nerds!

I used a The Cupcake Inspiration #492 combined with the Inspire. Create. sketch challenge #068 to get my creative juices flowing to make my projects today!

I also wanted to play with the Concord & 9th Faceted Gems stencils available in the Scrapbook Nerds online shop as well as some of their fun Tonic Studios glitter papers!

I loved the color combo inspiration and chose to combine Pool Party, Bermuda Bay, Pretty Peacock with Gorgeous Grape for my stencils! 

 The turnabouts are so easy to use! Here is a little process video from Concord & 9th

 I used my Stampin' Blends to colour the basic pearls for a coordinating pop of colour on my sentiment! 

Just love love love this colour combo however I can see that this stencil will look amazing in an array of colours and cannot wait to try out some more of them!!!

 Have an amazing day!

Happy Stampin'
